Pre-ordered this a couple of weeks back and looking forward to it arriving.
I watched Actress play a (very non-IDM) festival a couple of years ago; in
a pretty small tent, at some silly hour, and he was phenomenal.
I've repeatedly gone back to AZD since it was released, but couldn't really
get into LAGEOS, so interested to see what this is like.
